    @clacke As old as I am, I have never actually seen a 78 rpm record. It was just an unused option on record players.

    Which is a long way to say that I barely even knew they weren't vinyl, so I never heard any special terminology for them.

    #Meta / #Facebook ( #MFB ) plans for #metaverse look farther and farther away from fruition.

    I can see some use for a metaverse ( after all, several years ago, many teens and twenty-somethings were clamoring about an early version of the metaverse, #Second_Life ). I just don't think at this point that a single vendor's platform (and remember, they also own #Oculus, the company that makes their 3D goggles) is able to get enough mindshare ... and as far as I know, MFB's version doesn't interact with competing platforms.

      Two years ago, the metaverse was billed as the next big thing - but many in the tech world have already moved on.

    #Ford #UK asking #UKGovt to stay the course toward mandatory #EV

    I suspect that's because there's a major investment needed, and internal bean-counters won't approve it if there's not a mandate, because (among other things), there aren't charging stations, trained staff at dealership repair centers, aftermarket parts & equipment widely available to support such vehicles.

    1. Ford UK says any delay on government petrol car ban risks EV transition
      from Reuters
      The chair of Ford UK said Britain risked undermining the country's transition to electric vehicles (EV) if the government relaxes its current target to ban new petrol and diesel car sales by 2030.

    This isn't insurmountable, of course, but they have always had a xenophobic bent. So inviting workers and / or settlers in from the global south is unlikely.

    I think #CA minimum wage is around $14-$15/hour, so this is quite a jump.

    Turns out my training time last month never got fully entered, so two pay periods later, I still did not get paid. I sent an e-mail to someone in HQ about it. I think it has to get done before FY2024 begins 2023-10-01.

    #TIL: "bottle movie": https://lowupside.com/2018/01/25/my-top-10-bottle-movies-that-have-nothing-to-do-with-bottles/ [lowupside com]

    > A Bottle Movie is a movie that entirely (or mostly) plays out in a single location, usually a small one. A good way to tell if a film is “bottle-like” is if it can be turned into a stage play, because the term Bottle Movie comes from the idea that the whole film could fit into a confined space, like a bottle
